Personal life
Josef Carl Meffert was born out-of-wedlock in Koblenz, Germany, on 26 March 1903. After a difficult childhood, he spent 1914 to 1918 in two hospitals in Westphalia.
In 1927, he moved to Berlin, where he came into contact with Käthe Kollwitz, Emil Orlik, Heinrich Vogeler, Otto Nagel and John Heartfield, among others. Thanks in part to their encouragement, Meffert produced his first graphic works, as well as book and magazine illustrations for the workers' press. A passionate relationship developed with Sonja Marchlewska, the wife of Heinrich Vogeler, who had referred the then drug addict to Käthe Kollwitz.[1]
He went into exile in Argentina in 1935, where he worked at the Argentinisches Tageblatt newspaper.
